MOUNTING

3. NOTICE:

A. Do not bend or deform sensing bulb. This will alter control

calibration.

B. Do not kink capillary tube. The resulting constrictions in

fluid flow can destroy control function or broaden tempera-
ture differential. Minimum capillary tube bending diameter
is 1/2” I.D.

C. Any deformations of bulb or capillary that result in leakage

of fluid from control renders control inoperative.

D. Avoid passing control capillary tube through zones which

have temperatures in excess of controlled process tempera-
ture. Erratic control or destruction of control function may
result.
